>Description:
	When building the nvidia-driver port for the first time, it displays
	an options menu including Linux support, FREEBSD_AGP, etc.  The menu
	does not appear on subsequent builds, making it difficult to change
	any installed options.  

	"make clean"

	and

	"rm /usr/ports/distfiles/NVIDIANVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-7667.tar.gz"

	didn't help.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Build nvidia-driver port.  kldunload nvidia, make deinstall, make clean
	and run make again.
>Fix:
	I don't know how to fix the problem, but to work around it, one
	can run "make clean", "make extract", and then edit 
	work/NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-7667/src/nv-freebsd.h
	before running "make" or "make install".
	For example, to enable FREEBSD_AGP (which greatly improves performance)
	run "make extract", then before building, edit 
	work/NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-7667/src/nv-freebsd.h, changing
	#undef NV_SUPPORT_OS_AGP to #define NV_SUPPORT_OS_AGP, and then
	run make.
